IMPROVEMENT MOULDS IEOR PUDDING-S.

The Schedule referred to in theseLetters Patent and making part of thesame'. I

To all whomr'it lma/y concern:

Be it known that I, J osEPH MUsGnovE, of East Newark, in the countyv ofHudson, and State of New Jersey, have invented, made, and applied-touse, a certain new and useful Improvement in Moulds for Puddings, Ste.;and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the said invention, reference being had to the annexeddrawing, making part of this specication, wherein;

Figure 1 is a vertical section of said mould, and its cover detached;

Figure 2 is a plan of the mould; and

Figure 3 is a detached section, at the line :l: x, through one of thecorrugations.

Similar marks of reference denote the same parts.

`Pudding-moulds have been made with a corrugated exterior, and the endof each ccrrugation has been closed by a separate piece of sheet-metalsoldered into place, and'extending out to the rim. This constructionrenders the inside of the mould irregular and rough,

- and necessitates considerable labor in soldering in the separatepieces of tin.

The nature of my said invention consists in a mould for puddings, Sto.,formed of sheet-metal, with the ends of the corrugations in the casingclosed, by bending down the sheet-metal of the corrugation, so that iteX- tends to and is united with thesurrounding rim.

By this construction, the separate end-pieces .to the corrugations aredispensed with, the mould is made much stronger, and lessliable to beinjured in use, and

the cost is lessened, in ccnsequence ofthe mouldlrequiring less Workupon it.

In the drawinga is the bottom-piece of the mould.

b is a central tube, introduced to facilitate the cooking ofthe interiorofthe pudding, by allowing lheat more free access.

c c are the corrugations ci' the exterior or casing.

The sheet-metal composing this corrugated casing is pressed or folded down, so as to close the end of said corrugation, by extending from theedge thereof to the rim d, as seenat 1 1, figs. 2 and 3. This stiffensand strengthens the upper part of the mould, and makes a better article,at'a lesscost, 'than heretofore.'

- The cover e, with its rim f, is made as usual.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,'is-

The` mould, with the end-pieces l of the corrugated casing c, formedofthe sheet-metal bent down and extended to the rim d, as and for thepurposes set forth.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my signature, this 18th day ofMay, A. D. 1868.

JOSEPH MUSGROVE.
